How your result is calculated
- GPA = total quality points earned ÷ total credit hours attempted.
- There is no D- grade; A+ earns the same 4.00 as A.
- F, XF, IF and IE count as credit hours attempted with 0 quality points (IF is equivalent to F).
- I, IP, W, NC and NG carry no credit hours attempted, credit hours earned or quality points; CR counts as credit earned but not as hours attempted and carries no quality points.
- An undergraduate Incomplete (I) becomes IF, counted as a failing grade, if the grade change is not submitted by the agreed due date (at most one year).
- Credit/No Credit: sophomores or above with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 may take one free-elective course per semester (max 9 credit hours) credit-only; A through C- become CR and D or F become NC, and neither counts in the GPA.
- General Repeat Rule: a course may normally be repeated once; if the first grade was D+ or lower (or C- where a C is required), both the first and the repeat grade count in the CGPA. Repeating a course already passed with C or higher earns no quality points or hours.
- Undergraduate Repeat Rule: a student may elect to repeat up to two UM courses graded D, D+ or F, at UM, within the next two regular semesters; only the second grade (higher, lower or the same) counts in the CGPA and the first attempt no longer counts as hours attempted. Not available for XF (academic integrity) failures.
- Only work completed at the University of Miami counts in the official GPA; transfer courses bring credit but no grade or quality points (transfer grades are used only for Latin Honors). Military, examination and similar credit carries no quality points.

Questions
How is UM Semester grade-point average calculated?
Semester grade-point average is the average of your grade points weighted by credit hours: multiply each course's credit hours by the grade point for your grade, add these up, and divide by the total credit hours. Under Undergraduate grading system, A+ carries 4 grade points on a 4-point scale.
How is UM Cumulative grade-point average (CGPA) calculated?
Cumulative grade-point average (CGPA) is the average of the grade points of all courses taken so far, weighted by credit hours.
Is OpenCGPA an official UM calculator?
No. OpenCGPA is independent and not affiliated with University of Miami. It applies the rules published in UM's own documents, linked on this page. Your official result is the one on your grade card.
